| 10:27am | ~con sentimento~ | | | | It’s nice to have a DVD without commercials at the opening. I think this is the very first series I’ve watched where the opening and ending themes didn’t have any impression on me whatsoever. If anything, the opposite was true, with some of the higher notes sung with the ending theme.... |
| 5:58pm | Strawberry Marshmellow: Episode 4 Commentary | | | | I reached the manga chapter where Ana is introduced, and the anime episode had followed it nicely. I’m not sure about the manga’s presentation, though. I’ve already had my concerns from in the first volume when Matsuri said “Mew” rather than “Miu” at one point,... |
| 7:14pm | Following Janggeum’s Dream to Another Series | | | | I’ve been consistently posting a Janggeum’s Dream episode commentary roughly every six days since mid-January. My original plan for Janggeum’s Dream was to watch all 26 episodes, then move on to another series (Strawberry Marshmellow). However, when I reached roughly episode ten... |
| 2:28am | Seven of Seven: Episode 25 Commentary | | | | Kamichika won’t let that charm be lost. It could be a symbol of his attempts to get into Yasaka Oogi, so that Kayano will see him as worthy of her. Jamanana pretty much confirms that Kamichika doesn’t know it was Nana in the Billy costume, after all. The dub kind of misses the mark, though,... | | |
| 7:37pm | Michel: Episode 3 Commentary | | | | Kim White has brown hair and green eyes. The brown hair could be Korean, although Kim is commonly a surname, not a given name, in Korea (to my understanding). The surname of White and the green eyes, however, suggest otherwise. Then there’s Donna, her husband Gants, and their son, Will (recognizably... |
| 3:50am | Petite Princess Yucie: Episode 26 Commentary | | | | I still cannot get used to Fredrick’s English voice. Cube finally gets to visit the castle without being an intruder. He really does care for Yucie. I had a feeling he’d be the one to mention the other candidates. I can’t even imagine what it must be like for Yucie to go through... |
| 2:32am | Aria | | | | I’ve seen a number of posts by Jeff Lawson at Hop Step Jump about the Aria animated series. It’s always praise, but as I’ve never seen the series, I never paid much attention to it. I did check if there was a region one thinpack a while back, only to find it didn’t have a region... | | |
| 12:28am | Michel: Episode 2 Commentary | | | | Typically, Japanese anime released by ADV Films will have a translation of the opening and ending theme songs in the subtitles for every odd-numbered episode on a DVD (first episode, third, fifth if applicable), and then romanized Japanese captioning for the songs on the even-numbered episodes on the... |
| 2:20am | Seven of Seven: Episode 24 Commentary | | | | The petals from the cherry tree are beginning to fall. Jamanana must know her time is almost at an end. Nana never takes a good photo when she’s posing. Even her recent photos: the Bon festival, with her parents at the house, and her exam card photo. But she gets to be Examinee 623. Maybe... | | |
| 3:48am | Petite Princess Yucie: Episode 25 Commentary | | | | “I bet I can take over the world even if I’m not an adult. If not, my Mom will.” Glenda’s words sum up all the candidates’ views about the wish they knew Yucie planned. Prince Arrow’s life meant more than anything they would wish for. The only exception would... |
| 5:46pm | Michel: Episode 1 Commentary | | | | I can see this series is clearly intended for young viewers. The Pokémon-style influence is there, with all the fairies ready to battle, and to add to that Michel can fuse with them. The potential for a line of toys includes not only the fairies, but Michel fused with them. After seeing this first... |
| 7:12pm | Janggeum’s Dream: Episode 26 Commentary | | | | The bonus material on this DVD shows both Korean and Japanese (and maybe also Chinese) posters for Janggeum’s Dream. There’s also a lot of Di Gi Charat posters, which makes me wonder if the animators for Janggeum’s Dream also animate one or more Di Gi Charat series. Everything is... |
| 7:00am | Entering Evangelion | | | | Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of those series I never bothered to watch because it didn’t look like anything interesting to me. I had never actually seen even a single portion of a single episode, nor did I know what it was about, but artworks I had seen made it look to be a futuristic, space-setting,... |
